You should divide your capital into three parts, 30% to hold the altcoin you feel potential and may have better price, 50% used to trade every day because you can get early profit but risky would be very high and 20% would keep Bitcoin if you have a need for living


I also treat each package separate. If one fail then I let it die, never double my position or put more money . If it comes around then great. If not then let it die

I would just like to hear your opinions, Which is more profitable, Day Trading where you can profit through buying the dips and selling when it pumps repeatedly, or Long term HODLing where you buy the dip and only sell it when it goes up 5 to 10 times its price value?

Day trading is mostly done in altcoin market where altcoins price highly fluctuates.Traders make profits by using the difference in price.In day trading,only small percentage of profit is kept and it is done repeatedly within a day for even one or two hours gap.But it might not be profitable in bitcoin market.

Holding bitcoins is the strategy which is nowadays mostly used by investors,especially in bitcoin since its price is rapidly increasing nowadays.It was not useful in earlier times when bitcoin price used to rise very slow.But,nowadays,it would be the best strategy to gain more returns.

Both, is profitable and depends on your capital amount to trade ,Somehow, day trading is more hard to do if you have no good skills on it it it a very risky game ,you are like trading of war which in any moment it can dump hard or pump hard . Long term holding is a sure profit if you invested in a Altcoin that have a big potential in the next months or years.
I agree, I am holding bitcoin because I think this is safer than other strategies, I don't want to take high risk so I think this is the perfect strategy for me to Hold.
I am holding my bitcoin too because I know this will give me good return in the future but I am also holding some alternative coins that I know is good. As mush as I want to day trade i get too stress and i don't have the skills in trading that is why I decided to just HOLD.

I think more profitable would be trading but it is also more riskier . In trading, you giver your money a chance to grow. But, due to volatile nature of the market, trading is also very risky.
Holding on the other hand, is a safe yet profitable. Bitcoin has a tremendous rate of growth and that growth rate is what makes holding so profitable. I would suggest you to hold your coins and wait for your investment to grow.

I agree if Holding has a good profit and as a safe investment in bitcoin though impressed slowly but we believe in the development of bitcoin prices that at any time increase. But of course if we don't have the ability to trade, because actually trading is able to get bitcoin with fast.

70% HODL

Day trade  30%

You need to use some logic and strategy here. Liquidity is a real issue once you become a WHALE.

I believe a healthy coupling of both is necessary. Primarily long holds, but with day trading a slew of good spreads and pumpdirected coins.

At this point gains are most profitable with smaller coins. The gains are reached much faster. I do think that having some bitcoin will be beneficial in the future but the % gain is just not there anymore

I actually do both,  50% of the overall funds goes to trading, and the other 50% I am holding, for emergency cases, for buying solid altcoins which dump unexpectedly.

If I where to choose one between the two, I would go with long term holding since its not tiring, you simply store your coins in a hardware wallet for years. Unlike day trading, you have to always keep an eye on the market, buy when its low and sell when its high, its so tiring and requires a lot of attention.

If I had money to invest, I would divide it into two, use one half for trading and the other for holding. Both practices can be quite profitable.

I think you should do both, it is less risky that way. If you hold big projects while you lose all your trading money to pump n dumps, you'll still have your big projects and the value of those tokens. if on the other hand you decided to hold and the project falls appart, you might be lucky in trading and make money that way. If you're good at hold and trading then that's even better Wink
The trading with the bitcoin and you will have to hold for the long time, you will have to hold for the long time and trade and hold the price will be very high when you will sale for the high profit. The amount of the bitcoin will be more than double. Invest the 50% today and get the 80% for the profit and will be able to buy more in the case of the high profit.

I prefer daily trades rather than holding because I'm looking for a little profit, whereas if holding back is too risky, very boring and I am not one of those people who are patient for waiting, and I can not trade if I hold my bitcoin, I often lose the opportunity to earn profit because I thought I could get a big profit by holding back the bitcoin I had, but eventually I would cutloss if the price was down

Good point! It largely depends on your psychological portrait. Some people just can't stand holding because it's too boring for them. Although, trading for gambling is the best way to lose money.So, there is a fine line between smart trading and gambling. Gotta be careful

Indeed! Day trading is generally related to altcoins, all those coins that are just starting their journey in the crypto market.
I don't think your generalization holds water, what determines what coin to Hodl is their stability overtime and future projection. Presently I am Hodling Dogecoin (21 Satoshi today) rest assured that I shall be selling them at 100 Satoshi or more in the not too distant future!

Day trading is very much hectic and people definitely don’t like much getting into day trading.
Yes day trading may seem like Latin to an English man because he actually knows next to nothing what it is all about!

Quote
But still if your coin fluctuates a lot in prices, you are eligible for day trading but coin like bitcoin generates best results when held for long time.
Bitcoin happens to be one of the most volatile currencies, so easy to be down or up by over 500 USD within 24 hours. Then reason people nonetheless Hodl it, is because of the very strong community bias and projection that Bitcoin is headed for the moon, of which it has corroborated time and again by its resilience in bouncing back every time it ran into a storm.

In my opinion you can do both day trading and holding. Day trading is mostly for coins that pump and dump.
For those coins that have potential in the long term can hold for a longer period.
For those people who want to get a profit everyday they are required to do both types of trading because in holding trading there profit are gain after a specific time and while in day trading their profit are gain at the same day and also if they have any loss in holding trading then their recovery will also require a lot of time while when doing both business then if one day they have loss then other day he will recover their loss and also continuing their holding trade with that.
